In an electric performance both offensively and defensively, the Glencoe-Silver Lake boys’ basketball team won its second game of the season on Friday, Dec. 18, in a 67-53 defeat of visiting Dassel-Cokato.

The Panthers slathered on the full-court press early and often to build a double-digit lead just minutes into the contest, never trailing en route to the 14-point victory.

It was another busy week for the Glencoe-Silver Lake/Lester Prairie wrestling team as the Panthers hosted a triangular meet and traveled to Dassel-Cokato for a pair of matchups mid-week, before making a pre-dawn trip to Richfield for a duals tournament to start the weekend.

GSL/LP began last week’s slate with two wins at home on Tuesday, Dec. 15. The Panthers roared past St. Agnes and Spectrum by respective scores of 62-12 and 42-9. Individual results were not available.

Carrington Riss of Brownton graduated cum laude with a bachelor of science in psychology.

Christopher Becker, Austin Bohnert and Daniel Rach of Glencoe also graduated. Becker graduated with a bachelor of science in aviation, Bohnert with a bachelor of arts in English and Rach with a masters of arts in mathematics.

The city of Brownton has heard back from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development program on its preliminary engineering report for a proposed street and utility improvement project, which could cost up to $8 million.

John Rodeberg, an engineer with Short Elliott Hendrickson (SEH), told the City Council at its Dec. 8 meeting that he had expected to get comments back from the USDA within 30 days of submitting the report.
